In an attempt to win over female voters to the Conservative brand, Prime Minister David Cameron issued an interview with a women’s magazine, sharing his family life and love of cooking. Critics have called his comments “patronizing.”

Women are statistically
more likely to vote for the Labour Party than the Tories.

Some 28 percent of mothers with children under 18 plan to vote
Conservative, compared with 48 percent who favor Labour.

Three months ahead of the 2015 general election, Cameron has
evidently tried to woo female voters by polishing his “family
man” image.

In an interview with Woman & Home magazine, the PM heaped
praise on his wife Samantha Cameron.

“It is true that behind every man there is a great
woman,” said love-struck Dave.

“She truly is the empress of multitasking, and amazing at
doing it all, from overseeing the children’s homework, having a
business life of her own, doing a lot of charity work, and
supporting me as prime minister.”

The PM confessed that Sam Cam chooses his clothes for him, adding
“she has extremely good taste.

“I’m not really interested in clothes, mainly I like wearing
clothes that don’t make me stand out.”
